Why couldn’t we win in 2014?

Aerolithe_Lion · Feb 3, 2019

Dak is elite now? His rookie year, one of the 3 or 4 best QBs in the world? The evaluations of this guy are seriously all over the place on this board.

Elite? As in Brees, Brady, Rodgers without Prescott is heresy? That’s how you view him? Geeze Louise.

No, I just knew the rule enough to know what they were looking at instead of just hopping on the "we wuz robbed" train with zero knowledge to back it up. It's only a bad call to people because it didn't go our way but if anyone cared to get at the actual truth instead of rolling on the floor kicking and screaming that it wasn't fair, they'd see why it was reversed. They just choose not to for obvious reasons.

The Dez reversal was correct. Let it go. And a 2nd game with Seattle would have been a completely different game than earlier in the year. Winning twice in Seattle in the same year would have been a tall order, especially since our win was way back in Week 5. Completely different team than the one that was only 3-2 after we beat them.

The Dez reversal was not correct, because before that point it was considered a catch, and now it is considered a catch. When you have a former hall of famer quarterback saying *** isn't that a catch? And questioning the call, you don't think there is something wrong with the situation? And besides, the ball never hit the ground. As for Seattle being a completely different team, so were the cowboys.

Delusional. Completely Delusional.

Dak best chance for a superbowl was 2016, because people did not know how to gameplan against him yet. I know his crowd will refuse to see it, but just like teams were able to game plan against him in 2017, the rams found a way around any adjustments the cowboys made and infusion of talent they got from having cooper and gallup, by not worrying about Dak past 15 yards. Hopefully, Kitna, with his focus on footwork can help Dak become a more consistent threat past the 15 yard marker.

we had a bye week, leagues leading rusher, and top 5 ranked o-line and had to face a severely injured Rodgers playing on 1 leg.

It couldn’t be the QB because in 2016 we got an elite Quarterback (Dak Prescott) who played far better against the packers than in 2014 and still lost despite a similar team.

This coaching staff has to go.

Correction-
We did not have a bye. 2014 was the season we beat the Lions in the wildcard round.

The fact the ball never left Bryant's control until landing impact, came loose from impact still not touching the ground- and collected again makes the play absolutely irrefutable that it was a catch.

Forget the fact he caught the ball took three strides towards while switching hands and absorbing contact and lunged for the goal line to try and score (also all criteria of catch).

So you knowing the rule, can spot on video, anywhere where the ball actually touched the ground?

To me there two places where you can say it is a catch. One involves the complicated, argumentative, rule of what a catch is. But even if you agree that the ref is right about what a catch is, the much simpler method is from the point of where the ball *maybe* touched the ground, and if the ball never touched the ground, the simple method it is a catch. An incomplete pass has to hit the ground, since it never hit the ground, it was not incomplete. simple.

Problem starts with Jerry and the country club atmosphere!
The problem is the coaching staff for sure. Under Garrett the Cowboys have never handled success well by following it up with a unprepared, undisciplined performance.

First of the elite QBs are

Brady, Wilson, Mahomes, Rodgers, Brees.

Mahomes having the potential to be the greatest quarterback of all time if his next season is even 75% as good as this 1.

Out of all the quarterbacks under 30 Dak has shown that his stats are the of over 3 years shows he has potential to easily be a hall of famer.

Took Brady and Brees a combined 19 years to reach 30 touchdown passes in a season.

It likely struck ground when Dez still controlled the ball and traveled up loose and onto his forearm and contacting his face mask. Dez recollected it and rolled into the Endzone. Only two possible calls:

Catch. DBC at the 1
Catch. TD.

We got a third inconceivable call, despite Dez making 4 incredible plays in an 8 yard area to work with.

This was the death of all true legitimacy in the NFL game. It is now almost pure entertainment where bias officiating steers outcomes far too often.

Three of daks best deep passing games came this season. Ya know, after the teams had two years plus of tape.

Is one of those against the giants, the worst team this year in our division, in a meaningless game? And how'd he do for the other games? It's a game of adjustments, ultimately, I thought that the cowboys had an answer with Coop and getting teams to stop focusing only on stopping the run. But looks like the Rams found a way to go back to daring Dak to throw it deep and going after Zeek,

The game was different when Brady and Brees started though. It keeps getting easier and easier to score with rule changes to make this a high scoring league.

Aaron Rodgers is a bad dude

Even if dez “caught it” (which he did) Rodgers woulda went right back down the field and scored

'Gameplanning against him' is true but also a woefully overrated term. Every good QB gets better the older they get. To even insinuate 2016 was his best chance is to imply you have little faith in Dak's development. It's too bad how John Elway's career went down the toilet after his rookie year once people had tape on him ;/

Why couldn’t we win in 2014?
